In Rulings Digest #39, I answered the following question:
Regarding hazards which reference a haven: That is, can you replace the word 'Darkhaven' on the card with 'Haven'?
Like this:
CRF, Rulings by Term, Haven:
* Havens can tap. Whenever a hazard affecting minions refers to a Haven, interpret it as referring to a Darkhaven instead. Havens count as their own nearest Haven.
Technically, I didn't answer the question. I should make it clear that the converse is also true, that is whenever a hazard affecting heroes refers to a Darkhaven, interpret it as referring to a Haven instead. -------- Alatar (fallen) reads: Unique. Hazards your companies defeat (even with *) are worth full kill marshalling points. <snip>
Does this mean Alatar allows me to gain points from defeating, for example, my own At Home dragon manifestations?
*** No. Full kill MPs means that you get the normal number of MPs you would otherwise receive if you didn't have the Fallen-wizard 1 MP restriction. In the case of your own At Home dragon, full MPs means 0 MPs. -------- "Nameless Thing" with "Doors of the Night" is playable at any adjcent underdeep site. Is the attack considered as detainment for minion companies ? I mean, is it keyed to Shadow Hold?
*** If Nameless Thing is played at a site, it is considered keyed to that site. If that site is a Shadow-hold or Dark-hold, be it Under-deeps or surface, then the attack is detainment for minion companies. -------- Allies have race, so fallen wizard company containing troll alley is overt, right?
*** CRF, Rulings by Term, Company: # The following allies make a company overt: The Balrog, Creature of an Older World, Great Bats, Great Lord of Goblin-gate, Last Child of Ungoliant, Regiment of Black Crows, and "Two- headed" Troll.
Also note that allies created with Ready to His will retain thier race, which could affect the company's covert/overt status. -------- can you have two agents at the same Haven?
*** Yes. -------- i have a company (Radagast, Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, Fatty) and two agents (Elwen & Nimloth) at Lórien. opponent's Pallando comes to Lórien and enters the site (to try to influence away Bilbo). Elwen attacks Pallando and wounds him.
can Nimloth attack him in the same turn, before Pallando tries to influence?
*** All agents at a site may attack when an opponent's company enters that site at the time outlined in the ME:DM rules booklet. I'm not sure how your opponent plans on influencing Bilbo with a wounded wizard, however. -------- "Old Road " tap the site, "Hour of Need" DOES NOT tap the site.
*** This is incorrect. Both cards tap the site at which they're played. -------- How about successful ring play by "Black Rain"? Does "Black Rain" tap the site?
*** No. ME:LE Rulebook, Part I, Playing and Drawing Cards, Resource Cards, Non-Event, Items, Clarification:
"A special item with the keyword Ring at the beginning of its text does not tap the character or the site when played."
Since Black Rain allows you to play only Ring Special Items, it does not tap the site, nor does it require in untapped site for successful play. -------- I would like to briefly note that the additions to the CRF marked with [Van} or [CoE] on the Council of the Isles of the Dead that Live, otherwise known as the Dutch Council, website are currently not official. For the official rulings, refer to the CRF on the Council of Lorien website (http://www.treebeard.com/col/) and the rulings digests.
